There’s More Than One Infinity Gauntlet in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

People whose bladders were strong enough to stay put during the Age of Ultron credits got to see one of Marvel’s patented post-credits teasers this weekend: a shot of purple planet-eater Thanos picking up an Infinity Gauntlet (the glove that holds the Infinity Stones from various Marvel films) and vowing to hunt down the glowing MacGuffins himself. But wait — didn’t we already see an Infinity Gauntlet in the first Thor movie, where it was safe and sound in Odin’s vault in Asgard? What gives? Marvel’s Kevin Feige explains: “There are two different gloves,” he told CinemaBlend. “That is not Odin’s vault that you see at the end.” Does that mean the Infinity Gauntlet in Asgard was just a fun little Easter egg, like the Guardians of the Galaxy post-credits scene? Or does the second glove mean that one of the Avengers will be picking up a Gauntlet of their own? We’ll find out in the two-part Avengers: Infinity War, by which point everyone will be hyped out about another post-credits scene.
